Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

Drug Poss/Felony Menacing

I am a 31 yr old male, who has never been in trouble with the law, except for traffic violations. Suddenly, I am facing Felony menacing, due to another male that attacked another male in my home, then I stepped in, and removed the victim out of the house and took him somewhere safe. What do you think I am facing?? No priors, and victim stated that he will testify that I saved him from any further harm, and had no part in the assault

Re: Drug Poss/Felony Menacing

You are presumed innocent. I have handled similar situations with success. You have a valid defense of defense of others. While you face potential prison time as a first time offender, probation is a likely outcome should you be convicted. However, you have a valid defense and should defend the charge.
